The recipe Dinner Tonight: Chicken with Roasted Peppers and Sals A mixture of vegetable oil, tomatillos, creme fraiche, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so tasty. To use up the creme fraiche you could follow this main course with the Peach And Creme Fraiche Pie as a dessert. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free diet.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Cuvaison Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 29 dollars per bottle.
